7 Cures for the Punctually Challenged - Never Be Late Again

Had I not decided to become a professional organizer (not a time management expert!) I would have never stumbled upon this amazing book. 7 years later, I am still doing awesome at being on time. I learned more about the root or psychology of being late. I applied the techniques Diana teaches in this book. They freaking work!!!!

I share this book with my organizing clients if they even mention the word "late for everything" to me. Tonight I wrote an article for my readers that touts the praises of this book and how they too can be cured, you know...if they want to be.

Diana, you have truly given me a gift that I will always treasure. It is so awesome to be "on time" because I do not feel the stress or anxiety that used to come with my "punctual challenge". I do have those moments of pure "thrill seeking" but I recognize it for what it is. lol Your book has a special place on my desk. That's how important it is to me.

This book is wonderful. The existing reviews say it all. It has really helped me. I bought it less than 24 hours ago and am already/only halfway through, but what I've read has already changed me. I'm so glad I found the book and so glad that it is so helpful! I really needed to make a change but never knew how or why I was always running late... always!! :) This morning, I was early to work! It was pretty funny actually, I sat in my car and read the book for 10 minutes.. but there I was, early to work, reading about how not to be late! :) This book is absolutely worth buying if you have a tardiness problem. What I've read and implemented has already improved my confidence and I am looking forward to no longer inconveniencing those around me! Thanks, Diana!!

An an author and newsletter publisher, Diana's book told me the no-nonsense truth about myself. I like it when people are honest and appreciate Diana for helping me change a silly habit I've had for years.

In the past, I would write to deadline and want perfectionism! This book not only showed me why I did that, but how to cure it.

Today, I am free! Deadlines are a thing of the past because I accomplish things well ahead of schedule with just the few "cures" Diana lists in her book. Thank you Diana!

I have always had trouble being on time. This book is awesome. The author really helps you self-analyze and helps you find out the deeper reasons behind your bad habit. I am trying her tips and exercises and I must say...I'm learning to be on time!

When you've decided to get serious about your lateness problem and the effect it's having on your relationships, career, household, self-respect, dreams (asleep and awake) ... when your life, when you think about it, is really just kind of small and pathetic because you can not be on time, start here first! Make no mistake -- it WILL NOT change your life; only YOU can do that, but this book can point the way. I am not "cured" but this book gave me some great tools and insight! Good luck!

My copy of "Never be Late Again" arrived in Australia, from California in thirteen days (including two weekends and the day I ordered it). You can't get more prompt than that!

Post Madison is the publisher of the book, so Ms DeLonzor sent me a personally signed copy. Also, living outside of the USA, I am grateful that Post Madison accepts my funny plastic dollars (or their e-quivalent).

Of course, the very prompt, personal and professional service were not what motivated me to buy the book, and as I have had it just under three weeks, I can't make any claims about it permanently (or even instantly) turning me into a punctual person...yet.

I can claim that using Ms DeLonzors techniques has made an almost Magical difference to my life over the last three weeks, that they are very effective. I can also claim that "Never be Late Again" is easy to read and you can put what you read into action instantly.

It is also quite enlightening to notice how many Big things really boil down to the little matter of being there when I said I would - how many other peoples opinions of my competence, integrity, unselfishness change according to just a few minutes one way or the other.

If you think this book might help you, I strongly recommend you get it and act on it, rather than let people go on thinking you are a flake.

Finally, a book about how to overcome chronic lateness! I found this book to be very informative and fun to read. Delonzor gives many excellent tips on how to become a more punctual person. Be aware, however, that you won't instantly become a punctual person just by reading the book. You have to work at it by putting these ideas into action, which will be hard for most chronic late people. It's hard to change any bad habit. Overall, the book was insightful and helpful.

Why was I always 7 minutes late to any appointment or social event? This book explains many reasons for the behavior, gives easy, concrete suggestions for changing that behavior, and does it concisely, with order, thoughtfulness and humor. I am no longer late to anything! Have the lateness problem? Get this book.

This book literally changed my life - for the better. I was a perpetually late person and didn't know how it was affecting others in my life. Reading this book was a real wake up call. I began to think differently about time and what could be achieved in a specific amount of time. I was using what Delonzor calls "magical thinking" when it came to time.

I would highly recommend it to anyone who is "punctuality challenged." Thanks for writing such a helpful book.

I purchased and began reading this book hoping it would help me with my chronic problem with punctuality. However, as I read it I discovered that there are many types of people with this same problem, and they included many different personality and character types...many of which I could identify with person- ally. "Never Be Late Again" covered so much more than just tips on overcoming punctuality. It helped to provide insight into many facets of my own personality as well as that of those around me. I would (and have) recommended this book to just about everyone, whether they have problems with being late or not. It's a MUST READ !!!

A self-described "late person" writes:

"I was a perpetually late person and didn't know how it was affecting others in my life."

Really? You really didn't know how it was affecting others in your life? As a victim of a "late person," I have a hard time believing that. How could you NOT know this -- unless, of course, you just never bother to think about others.

**Pregnancy**
For some reason, this book helped me in being more punctual to meeting and work... However, when it came to giving birth to my first child... I was still about 3 weeks late. I do not recommend the cures for tardiness this book suggests for women wanting to have their babies on their due dates.
